January 13, 2010 (CHICAGO) --

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley wants to give some people a break when it comes to parking meter violations.The mayor is asking the Chicago City Council to approve a plan that would withdraw one violation per vehicle each year when issued within 5 minutes of the expiration of a pay box receipt.

The mayor said he understands people are angry about the way the parking meter system was implemented last year and hopes the new plan will help.
